BOOBY HONORS The BLUE MOON Board has not escaped the vicissitudes of the current world-wide depression, and in no phase of its work has encountered more difficulties than in finding enough students to balance the budget, so to speak, of the Booby Business. The Board feels that it must continue to serve the stockholders faithfully as long as there is a market for Boobyism, but if, as seems imminent, a collapse should occur, the owners of Booby stock, most of whom unfortunately are Seniors, will be assessed IOOSQ on each share. It is obvious that such a contingency will put Boobs in an embarrassing position: indeed they may no longer be able to afford the luxury of indulging in their idiocyncrasies. And the final result of the whole matter will be that the BLUE MOON Board will be forced to abandon Cnot in entire regretfulnessj its annual report of Booby Honors. It is therefore with an unwonted note of foreboding that the following ac- count is submitted for the fiscal year of 1931-32: SELF-GOVERNMENT To Barbara Pierpont? and Eaith Adams, first rank honors for having as- sumed a superior attitude toward the ways and means of the organization. To Thayer Hunter, second rank honors for having been impervious to the ideal of consideration of others, to Wit, by having been an inveterate talker during study periods and a demonstrator of the possibilities of throat noises in conversation. To June Haviland? third rank honors for having broken the record for untidiness in the Upper School. SCHOOL REGULATIONS To Betty Wood, Barbara Pierpont? Florence Young, Nancy Johnson, and June Havilandx, first rank honors for having crowned their career at Ban- croft with an inglorious number of tardinesses, -rl., 'kDouble honors for obvious reasons,
